Are there any drummers actually in Glasgow? (Also needed; a guitarist/singer/songwriter!)
Ok so myself (Bass) and a guy (Guitar) are looking for members, particuarly a drummer so we can get going but also a guitarist with songwriting experience and if possible can sing also not essential.
Want to start a band with equal parts melody, passion and ambition, and need a drummer of very good experience (we agree that the solid/inventive drumming is one of the most important aspects, so they need to be of decent quality) and although doesn't necessarily have to be into the same music at least be willing to contribute and be committed.
We understand that starting a band up is difficult and the first songs we write will probably just be rip offs but with a little patience we would like the become more creative and, if needs be, experimental as we progress as a band.
Our key influences would be:
Fugazi
Meneguar
Algernon Cadwallader/Cap'n Jazz
At the Drive-In
The Smiths
Fucked Up
Springsteen/Hold Steady/Gaslight Anthem
Cloak/Dagger
(early)My Bloody Valentine
I suppose if it had to be reduced, a post-punk band, as it would need pop sensibilities but would play mostly faster stuff and not be afraid to experiment a bit when necessary.
So if you're a drummer and/or a singer/songwriter (18-25) and you think this is sounds like something you'd be interested in please let me know whether here or at newnoise@hotmail.co.uk. Also I know this ad sounds all serious and that but myself and Alan are nice guys who also want to have fun with this, but we want this a lot so that's the reason for the tone.
Cheers, Adam.
